• Finally, finish off the attack with a heavy kick to the body. The sprinting speed, combined with the bulky weight of your mech, allows this melee attack to inflict massive damage on the adversaries.
• This move is particularly useful when you want to apply stagger hits on your opponents.
• Once unlocked, this perk gets directly added to your moveset. You can easily acquire it towards the start of the game, and it should prove helpful during the later stages.
